WHO ARE ELTE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AMBASSADORS?

ELTE International Student Ambassadors are degree-seeking international students at ELTE who want to share their experience about their studies here at the university with students who are still in the process of applying for the degree program.

WHO CAN APPLY?

Anyone can apply who is currently enrolled as a student in the second/third/fourth year of any degree program at ELTE. If you want to tell others how great it is to be with us, you are a perfect candidate to be an ELTE International Student Ambassador in 2019/2020.

WHY SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO BE AN ELTE INTERNATIONAL AMBASSADOR (IA)?

Are you having great experience here at ELTE? Would you like to share it with other students? Be an ELTE International Ambassador!

You help prospective students with information - the more people hear about ELTE, the more valuable your degree is!
